Release Notes

The journey of BrowserRouter — from the first commit to the latest features.

  1. v1.4.02026-10-30Latest

    Cleaner Settings, Every Profile

    • Rule editor sheet: Add and edit rules in a focused sheet with Cancel / Save; the rule list gets more room and the tester stays below it.
    • All Chrome profiles: Finds every Chromium and Firefox profile even under macOS 27 browser data protection; names show once Full Disk Access is allowed.
    • Any source app: Pick any installed app as a rule's source with "Choose Other App…", not just running ones.
    • Language & polish: Switch between English and Simplified Chinese in Settings, clearer labels, a consistent type scale, and fixes for settings being reset by a browser rescan.
  2. v1.3.12026-09-23

    New Bundle Identifier

    • Bundle identifier is now com.khalil.browserrouter; set BrowserRouter as the default browser again after updating.

    Open Links From Anywhere

    • Services & clipboard: Send a selected link through the macOS Services menu, or open the link on your clipboard from the menu bar.

    • Rule editor: Explicit New / Add / Save, Move Up and Move Down for priority, and a tester that previews the draft before it is saved.
